Default Let's try to do the math

According to DoN. Nichols :
According to Ignoramus5114 :
How many collets are pictured here? 120 or 143? (rectangle in the middle)

http://www.winternitzonline.com/auct...s.php?id=25781


I seem to get 161 -- assuming that the left-hand block of
collets is the same type as the center block -- and assuming that
there is a collet under the tag "359".


I see now that you were talking about the middle block.

[ ... ]

The center block has 112 locations, and 111 collets. And those
collets are the ones which have a constant depth (with a slight tradeoff
on concentricity). The levt ones *might* be 5C collets. The left ones
are certainly not.


Correcting myself he

That last sentence *should* have read:

The left ones *might* be 5C collets. The center ones are certainly
not.


Enjoy,
DoN.
